Controversy Erupts Over Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Agriculture Ministry Allocation

The Congress praised the Samyukta Kisan Morcha for opposing the NDA's decision to appoint Shivraj Singh Chouhan as the Agriculture Minister. Chouhan was criticized for his role as the Chief Minister during the 2017 Mandsaur incident where six farmers were killed. The decision has angered farmers nationwide.

The Congress has commended the Samyukta Kisan Morcha for its protest against the NDA government's move to allocate the Agriculture Ministry to Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The Congress noted that Chouhan, during his tenure as Chief Minister, presided over the 2017 Mandsaur incident where six farmers were killed.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the SKM accused Chouhan of being responsible for the deaths, as the farmers were allegedly murdered while advocating for better Minimum Support Prices (MSP), comprehensive loan waivers, and against the increasing rate of farmer suicides.

The SKM argued that appointing Chouhan to the agriculture ministry was a symbolic representation of the arrogance and insensitivity of the BJP regimes of 2014 and 2019, which has incited outrage among farmers and rural communities across the nation.
